That seems to be the whole point of the sexual assault accusations. The media starts reporting on the sexual assault accusations to distract from the nursing homes; leftists like Shaun King claim that their open outrage is proof they hold their politicians accountable, a few weeks go by, and the accusers quietly withdraw their accusations.

Cuomo claims he was exonerated from the claims, the news cycle goes to something else, and nobody to the left of OAN does any further reporting on the nursing home deaths. In other words, wag the dog.
